It really is that simple, and again, it's free. So why not try to win some money in the FOX Super 6 game?
And if you need a little help before heading to the app to make your picks, I have you covered this week.
1. Out of these four drivers, who will have the BEST FINISHING POSITION?
Scott McLaughlin, Felix Rosenqvist, Scott Dixon, Colton Herta
McLaughlin is having the best season of these drivers, as he sits fifth in the standings. Rosenqvist is sixth, Dixon seventh and Herta eighth. Dixon and Herta are the drivers among these four to have a win at the Indy Grand Prix. Dixon has five consecutive top 10s in the race. Rosenqvist has four top 10s in that span. Rosenqvist also has two poles on this circuit.
Prediction: Scott Dixon
2. Rank the drivers by who will have the MOST LAPS LED from highest to lowest
Christian Lundgaard, Alex Palou, Pato O'Ward, Kyle Kirkwood
Palou, by far, has led the most laps in the series this year at 120. He's followed by O'Ward at 51, Lundgaard at 49 and Kirkwood at 46. Palou led 39 laps on his way to the win on the Indy road course a year ago and has led 92 laps at the track. Lundgaard has led 57, O'Ward 23 and Kirkwood none.
Prediction: Alex Palou, Christian Lundgaard, Kyle Kirkwood, Pato O'Ward
3. Which group includes the WINNER of the Sonsio Grand Prix?
Palou, Rosenqvist, Herta
Kirkwood, McLaughlin, Dixon
Lundgaard, O'Ward, Power
None of the Above
Palou has three wins this year, while Kirkwood is the only other driver to win. On the Indy road course, Power has five wins, Dixon and Palou have two wins each and Herta has one win (of drivers not among those listed, Rinus VeeKay and Alexander Rossi and Josef Newgarden all have a win at the track).
Prediction: Alex Palou, Felix Rosenqvist, Colton Herta
4. Which team of three will have the best COMBINED FINISHING POSITION?
Andretti Global (Kirkwood, Herta, Ericsson); Chip Ganassi Racing (Palou, Dixon, Simpson), Team Penske (McLaughlin, Power, Newgarden); Arrow McLaren (Lundgaard, O'Ward, Siegel)
If you went by this year's standings, the answer would be Andretti. Their combined points standing is 24, just ahead of Ganassi (25), Arrow McLaren (26) and Penske (28). Penske has won eight of the races on this circuit, although Palou won a year ago.
Prediction: Team Penske
5. Which rookie driver will finish in the TOP 20?
Robert Shwartzman, Louis Foster, Jacob Abel
Shwartzman has two top-20 finishes, Foster has one and Able has none. Foster and Abel have experience on the course, having driven it in Indy NXT races and each winning one of the two Indy NXT races on the course last year. This is also one of the better tracks for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing (which Foster drives for).
Prediction: Louis Foster
6. Which engine manufacturer will have the MOST CARS in the TOP 10?
Honda, Chevrolet, Tie
Both manufacturers have five drivers ranked in the top 10 of the standings. Last year, Honda had seven in the top 10 and in the two 2023 races, Honda had six cars in the top 10. But with the Arrow McLaren surge this year (two of the top-four drivers in the standings), will that give Chevrolet a boost as far as top-10 finishers?
Prediction: Chevrolet

Ryan Blaney's Unexpected Act After NASCAR Nashville Race Is Turning Heads
Ryan Blaney's Unexpected Act After NASCAR Nashville Race Is Turning Heads originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Ryan Blaney has finally broken through into the win column. The Team Penske driver scored his first win of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series when he topped the field in the Cracker Barrel 400 race at Nashville Superspeedway in Lebanon, Tennessee, on Sunday. Advertisement Blaney started in the 15th position but still had a solid performance, as he led by a total of 139 laps while also winning Stage 2 of the race. Blaney continued to grab attention after winning the race, as he personally handed the checkered flag to a lucky fan in the stands. That moment was captured on video, which was later shared by NASCAR on Instagram. "A true role model," said a fan after seeing the video of Blaney's gesture to the fan. Another one said: "Ok, that's pretty cool!' From a commenter: "🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Ryan Blaney is so smooth with the W' 'That's what it's all about! Blaney made that kid a fan for life,' a social media user posted. Advertisement Via a different commenter: 'He is a cool guy n a great race car driver.' Said another: 'Man of the people 🏁.' NASCAR Cup Series driver Ryan Blaney (12) leads during the Cracker Barrel 400 NASCAR Cup Series race.© Denny Simmons / The Tennessean / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images The 31-year-old Blaney deservedly cherished the victory, as he had come close to one multiple times in previous starts. So far in the 2025 season, he has six top 5s and seven top 10s through 15 starts. Hopefully for Blaney, his win in Nashville would not also be his last this season, as he now looks forward to the next race on schedule, which is the Firekeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway on June 8, followed by the Great American Getaway 400 Presented by at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, Pennsylvania, on June 22.

History Shows Josef Newgarden Can Rebound in Second Half
INDYCAR Josef Newgarden had plenty to say entering the 2024 Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear, following a week of national media obligations. At this point last season, the Team Penske driver entered Detroit seventh in points, riding a wave of momentum from his second consecutive Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge victory. Both '500' wins came due to a thrilling, last-lap pass. This year, Newgarden was quiet in Detroit, sticking to himself and not the usual outgoing, charismatic two-time series champion. He entered last weekend 11th in points. Newgarden charged from 32nd in this year's '500' to inside the top 10 by halfway, but a mechanical failure ended his day on Lap 135, leaving him 22nd and ending his quest to become the first driver to win three consecutive Indianapolis 500s. That's the story of his frustrating season. The trouble isn't caused by a lack of speed. Newgarden has been plagued by bad luck, leaving him 12th in points after Detroit, 185 behind leader Alex Palou, and five behind 10th-place Marcus Armstrong. Newgarden had a shot at a top-10 finish in the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach, but his seatbelts came off, forcing an unscheduled pit stop. He finished 27th. An electrical malfunction before the Sonsio Grand Prix on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course dropped Newgarden from sixth in the starting lineup to take the green flag last. He rallied to finish 12th, leaving the question of what might have been. Even in the season-opening Firestone Grand Prix St. Petersburg presented by RP Funding, Newgarden had a shot at a runner-up finish, but a fuel mishap occurred, not allowing his No. 2 PPG Team Penske Chevrolet to get full of Shell 100% Renewable Race Fuel. As a result, Newgarden had to coast the final few laps to get to the checkered. That allowed Palou to pull away, and his Chip Ganassi Racing teammate Scott Dixon to pass Newgarden for second. That third-place finish is Newgarden's lone top five all season. Maybe a week off to reset and recharge is exactly what Newgarden needs to swing the pendulum of his season. Following Detroit last year, Newgarden went on a run of five podium finishes over the final 11 races, including a victory at World Wide Technology Raceway, the site of the next NTT INDYCAR SERIES race June 15. Newgarden also had three podium finishes in the final five races. Can he go on another run? Newgarden has the tools and experience to flip the script on a rocky start. The upcoming stretch is tailor-made for a resurgence, especially on ovals, where he has few equals. 'He's the best oval racer in the series,' Ed Carpenter Racing driver Alexander Rossi said. 'He's the most aggressive.' Five of the final nine races are contested on ovals, beginning with a return trip next Sunday night to the 1.25-mile track near St. Louis for the Bommarito Automotive Group 500 presented by Axalta and Valvoline, airing at 8 p.m. ET on FOX, the FOX Sports app and the INDYCAR Radio Network. Newgarden has at least one oval victory in each of the last nine years. He's won four of his last five tries at World Wide Technology Raceway. The outlier was 2023 when he finished 25th in a race in which he led 98 laps. At the Iowa Speedway oval, Newgarden has tallied six victories in 16 starts. The series visits the short track for a July 12-13 doubleheader. Newgarden won both NTT P1 Awards at the Milwaukee Mile last season and finished third in the 2024 season finale at Nashville Superspeedway. The series visits both for the final two races of the season, Aug. 24 and Aug. 31, respectively. Newgarden isn't just strong on the remaining circle tracks. Following next Sunday night's race, the series next goes to the XPEL Grand Prix at Road America on June 22. Newgarden finished runner-up on the Wisconsin road course last year to teammate Will Power and won in 2022. The July 6 Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio follows. Newgarden won in 2021. The Ontario Honda Dealers Indy Toronto takes place on July 20. Newgarden is a two-time winner on the Toronto streets. Translation: Newgarden has arguably as much potential to win in bunches as anyone in the 27-car field. 'We can win any weekend,' Newgarden said. recommended
